    Too bloated. Why the need to reboot after install? Anybody know of a good, compact player? This one's up to 20mb. Version 8 was only about 10mb.

    I've also noticed the recent version have started running crap in the background that have screwed up my computers.

    What kind of custom install is that? Why can't I install the record/playback options?

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    0.9.2 (Jul 8, 2004)

    I just downloaded this with the current hoopla surrounding it. My first impressions are, first, these other browsers should quit trying to do stuff their own way. Microsoft has over 80% of the market, why not just access the favorites people already have? I would be much more inclined to use this if that was the case.

    Second, Download Folder was set to save all files to the Desktop! First, this should be set to ask me by default, and even if it's not, it shouldn't just save stuff to the Desktop! There should be a quarantine folder!

    Third, this browser does not honor the "Show window contents while dragging" setting in the windows display settings, when resizing the browser window.

    I found one last item. When I went to uninstall it, I noticed an empty group in my start menu. I only let it put an icon in my quick launch bar when I installed it, so why did it add an empty program group? It could've at least put an uninstall or help icon in there.

    I realize this is open source software, but I think some of the very basic functions could be cleaned up a bit.

    I'd also like to switch to Yahoo as my primary address, if you can in fact use Outlook Express for free.

    How does a person set that up? Yahoo provides to docs on this.
